On July 1,1996, the registrant and its Board of Directors approved the
engagement of Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC, of Englewood, Colorado,
to audit the registrant's financial statements. During the registrant's
two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period
preceding the engagement of this firm, the registrant did not consult
this firm regarding any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(2) of
Regulation S-K.
Stark Tinter & Associates, LLC was selected by new management of the
registrant. As reported in the Form 8-K dated January 31, 1996, the
registrant experienced a change of control.
The former accountants were Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. The
report of Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. on the financial statements
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995 contained an explanatory
paragraph regarding the registrant's ability to continue as a going
concern. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Board
of Directors on May 21, 1996. During the registrant's two most recent
fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding the
resignation, there were no disagreements with Mitchell Finley and
Company, P.C. on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Mitchell Finley
and Company, P.C., would have caused it to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.
Effective January 1, 1996, Mitchell Finley and Company, P.C. combined
its practice with BDO Seidman LLP. In addition, the license of Mitchell
Finley and Company, P.C. to practice accountancy with the Colorado
